Except for the likely person to leave dirty socks on the floor, I chose Sirius for each question. XD I'm so predictable it's not even funny. The last question, on the other hand, is very very hard. I'm quite partial to the mythical shared flat, though!

High five, honey. I think that you and I answered the same!

[epithalamium]

Oooh, yes we did! I'm so glad I'm not the only one who thinks Remus is the messy one. Walburga would never have countenanced mess, and I think Sirius never got out of the habit. XD

[nerakrose]

heehe funny, i picked sirius for that because he had a house elf so he wouldn't have learned to keep tidy after himself :P (iunno if it's canon or just my headcanon but i think house elves only get set free when they're given a piece of clothing directly from the hands of their owner and not when they just pick it up to do laundry...)

[epithalamium]

Hm... for some reason, I always thought house elves picked clothes up for their masters to do the laundry too (don't tell me Lucius does the laundry!). Haha. But I always thought Sirius is a bit OC about cleanliness. He was all, 'There's enough filth in my robes' to Peter, and there was his little joke about how the house was getting filthy to Kreacher in OotP. :P

[nerakrose]

I could so imagine lucius do the laundry. i imagine narcissa forcing him to after he sacked dobby. XD (btw... http://makanidotdot.tumblr.com/post/9913301147/this-is-what-i-imagine-happened-after-lucius XD)
aha true. xD

[epithalamium]

Loool! poor Lucius! The things those purebloods do to keep up appearances. ;D

[nerakrose]

ahaha yeah. gotta love them. <3

The mythical shared flat is the double rainbow of this fandom, let's be honest.

[epithalamium]

Aww, come on! Who doesn't want to read about Sirius and Remus fighting over what flavour jam and bickering over who gets to wash the dishes? Sooo romantic! <3

[ohkaye.livejournal.com]

YES and the couple of years before the war actually began in earnest where they had privacy and cuddles and became all DOMESTIC, I just cannot.

Probably my favorite interpretation from that time is the franticbabbles archive :') That archive is probably, for me, the R/S Fandom Bible (Shoebox' characterizations always seemed slightly off to me?)

[epithalamium]

YES OH GOD YES. I still think Sirius gave Remus hell for getting crumbs in the jam jar. Franticbabbles's fics is probably all I ever wanted in R/S. Never really bought into the whole SBP thing. It's fun and all that, but they weren't my Sirius and Remus.

[ohkaye.livejournal.com]

Agreed wholeheartedly, though SBP was what got me into the fandom and it will always have a special place in my heart for that reason :') But finals are coming up, which means REREADING FRANTICBABBLES FOR COMFORT WHILE CRYING INTO ICE CREAM WOO

[epithalamium]

Uuuugh. I think I managed to read them at the same time-ish. :S I managed to save franticbabbles's fics myself before she deleted her journal, too! Still makes me happy every time I re-read them.
